Daniel Palacios

I am a Spanish artist based in Berlin, with a background in Fine Arts and three Master degrees related to Art & Technology and Public Art.

Strong believer of learning by making, besides my own practice I founded a production studio aimed to help fellow artists, designers, and entrepreneurs to realize their own projects, as well as teach students in Universities and Cultural Centres related to Art & Technology.

I grew up questioning everything around me, taking things apart, tinkering and making.

An advocate of digital thinking, at the same time I need the tactile experience, conceiving each project as an entity in which technology and craft work harmoniously, without eclipsing one another.

Technologies such as interactive and kinetic installations or data visualization interest me the most, they have the power to alter your perception of the world engaging with your senses and your mind.
By revealing, replicating and deviating from natural phenomena they can shift the way you think about what surrounds you, how you perceive, experience and react to it.

I enjoy the vision of the artist as an explorer

the one who asks “what if” without knowing what’s going to happen next, looking for the limits of what is known.

Experimental within contemporary art, my production has evolved through interactive installations, site-specific engravings and sculptures of data visualization as well as critical design projects. Always questioning subjective aspects of perception and confronting the preconceived ideas of the public and their expectations, I tend to be attracted to issues related to natural phenomena in our immediate surroundings, of a certain scientific nature, investigating the alternative use of materials and production processes.

Born in the early 80’s, during the analog-digital paradigm change, my fascination with this line of research emerges from a methodical exploration of the world, balancing precise technical execution with a subjective reproduction of reality. I explore the limits of what we know and what we perceive, creating objects and experiences that lead to a better understanding of the world around us.

I’ve collaborated with brands such as Nike, Adidas, Orta Anadolu and Mustang among others, for their campaigns in cities such as Berlin and L.A, and venues such as Soho House Istanbul and Casa Batlló in Barcelona.
